How the SmartKeeper automatic backup works

SmartKeeper is capable of performing the automatic backup process whether your device is in use (ON) or in suspension (OFF).

When the device is ON

If a low battery status occurs while you are using the device, this message appears, “Battery low! Back up the current system status?”

Backing up the “current system status” means that the entire system and all the data in the system main memory are saved as is to the ASUSBKUP.SAV file. For example, you are editing an Excel file when a battery low status occurs and you confirmed to back up. When you restore the system status from the ASUSBKUP.SAV file, you will see exactly the same screen, settings, and system configuration as earlier backed up.
